#MyTweet via Instagram

Exploring User Behavior Across Multiple Online Social Networks. We study how users of multiple online social networks (OSNs) employ and share information. We study a common user pool that use 6 OSNs — Flickr, Google+, Instagram, Tumblr, Twitter, and YouTube — by compiling a cross network dataset that consists of users’ social network activities and their self-declared user profiles. We uncover why users use different OSNs and how they interact among them. In particular, we investigate the pattern of cross-sharing, a previously-unstudied behavior: i.e., when a user broadcasts their own activity across multiple OSNs. We find that cross- sharing among users exhibit strong bias towards certain OSNs as originating sources and others as destination sinks, and that cross-shared posts also show certain topical and social predispositions.

Recolor

Recolor is a mobile 2D puzzle-action game set in a stylized world. The game utilizes a unique drawing mechanic that allows players to plan and guide the characters Huey and Satura across beautiful but dangerous landscapes as they embark on a journey to help Satura regain her memories while recoloring their world.
Recolor started out as a game prototype in SUTD Game Lab's Game Innovation Programme (formerly GAMBIT) in 2015. Since then we have decided to turn it into a full mobile game.
The team consists of 3 NUS School of Computing students and 1 from Digipen Singapore.

Magna Caves

Inspired by the classic block-pushing puzzle games of Sokoban and Kwirk, Magna Caves is a puzzle game that introduces magnetism on top of the usual block-pushing, giving an additional layer of depth to the puzzles. The incorporation of magnetism generates a surprising variety of novel mechanics and possibilities that have been unexplored in other block-pushing puzzle games, making this a very exciting concept. Magna Caves is currently developed for and playable on the desktop (bit.ly/2e709hw) and on Android (bit.ly/2dBABIJ)
This game is an Apollo Entry for NUS CS Orbital 2016 (https://orbital.comp.nus.edu.sg/?tag=2016).
